User Rating: 7.9 | Disney/Pixar The Incredibles: Rise of the Underminer XBOX
THQ did a good job with this game ,'' this time ''. Not that the last game '' The Incredibles '' wasn't good it's just that the games difficualty should have been tweaked a little more,especially the boss battles thats what kept it from being enjoyable , having said that, the '' Underminer '' the second in the series has the Incredibles once again fighting crime although this time around you get to play not only as Mr. Incredible but also Frozone. The other three are left behind as Mr, Incred. and Froz. do battle underground hence the name Underminer . This is your typical smash an dash platform game were you can play as either Mr. Incred. or Frozone either one you pick , the cpu will take control of the other ,you can also have someone jump right in and take control of the other crime fighter with a push of a button and when one of you drop out the cpu takes right over control again .

Both Heroes have thier own skills and you know what Mr. Incred. is capable of if you payed the first game although he seems to have more power behind him this time around . Frozone is fun to play as ,his ice board was fun to fly around though your limited as to how long you can ice surf ,his freezing abilities are strong as he has a power up to where he can make it snow large ice balls which is good when their are a lot of enemies near by . Mr. incred. power up is his super smash ,also nice to have when things get tough .You need both to get through this game like when you have a bridge out ,no problem Froz . is their to whip up a ice bridge or if Mr. Incred. is having a tough time smashing an object good 'ol Froz. is their to freeze it so Mr .incred. can smash it to bits along with most enimies as they mostly are robots and robots dont like ice or to be smashed to bit's for that reason .So basically your gonna get what you expect ,freeze an smash objects run down another hallway smash and or freeze some more it gets a little repetitious but the action keeps you into the game so you dont realy notice it .

Now most of the game takes place underground as you might expect but their are some above ground levels to play like protecting scientist running them from point A to B or destroying heavy machinery to stop enemie robots from respawning . The look of the game is nice,good graphics as you might expect from Disney the fram rate seemed fine it ran well on my Xbox .The game is also relatively easy but their are a couple of tough boss battles thrown in here and there that'll have you shaking your controler at times but their are hints and or clues to help you out also the duo give each other tips as to how to progress .But if you played the first game and found it frustratingly tough dont worry this game is a lot more forgiving .Underminer is a great game,well worth the money and it is also a short game so dont be surprised if you finnish it in one day ,my daughter and i finnished it in about 7-8 hrs.
